When Marie Zoda, a Marco Island Chamber of Commerce volunteer came into McDonald’s for a ribbon cutting ceremony, she asked a gentleman seated near the door how he liked the restaurant’s remodel. “The real question is, how do YOU like it?” he asked her. Marie didn’t realize she was speaking with Mike Adams, an owner of the McDonald’s.
The McDonald’s at 899 N. Collier Boulevard held the ribbon cutting in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce to celebrate a complete modernization inside and out. The fresh new look included a new patio area outside, double drive thru service and comfortable new seating. According to Manager Nathalie Herrera- Carmona, “The changes reflect the community. It serves as a meet-up spot for many people in the area; it will continue to be a great place to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee, surf the Internet or hang out with friends or family. We are very pleased with the new look and feel.”
